Research work carried out by the team aims to acquire knowledge on the ecology and population dynamics of diadromous migratory fish (a distinctive feature of these species is that they complete their life cycle in both fresh and sea water) as well as on developing tools and methods for conserving these species in European catchment areas.
The objectives of the team are :
- to study the adaptability of diadromous migratory fish to global change (fishing, habitat fragmentation, contamination, climate change, etc.). This involves research on the ecology of these species (essential habitats, dispersion, migration, temperature or hypoxia sensitivity, etc.), their ecotoxicology (research on effects of contaminants, in partnership) and their population dynamics. This research aims to evaluate the viability of different populations and their trajectories;
- to provide working tools in the field of conservation biology (fish breeding);
- to characterize assets and services associated with diadromous migratory fish (research carried out in partnership).
The PMA team is an institutional member of the World Sturgeon Conservation Society.
Teaching module
Since 2013, and as part of the University of Bordeaux STEE (Earth Science, Environment and Ecology) Masters specializing in BEC (Continental Biodiversity and Ecosystems), Irstea (PMA team, EABX unit) has run the Conservation Biology and Migratory Fish teaching unit. Based on the study of diadromous migratory fish, the learning aims are to study conservation and aquatic biological asset management topics and acquire a foundation for thought along with methods and tools at the cutting edge of research and management.
Manager : Marie-Laure Acolas, Research associate
Participants : Members of the PMA team at the Irstea Bordeaux center and guest participants from other organizations (managers, members of associations, government representatives, and scientists).
